A comprehensive review is a review of all application materials before making an admissions decision. This means a student is not automatically ruled out by their GPA, test scores, or personal statement/written responses alone. Careful consideration is taken on each portion of the application. Explain your understanding of this process and the importance of it. Explain that a comprehensive review allows for all admission materials to be reviewed before making a final decision, allowing a more equitable admissions decision that considers the whole student.

The interviewer asks this question to determine your familiarity with admissions terms and get a better idea of your opinion of this review process. If the school does a comprehensive review of applications, they believe in this method. Name a few favorable reasons for doing a comprehensive review, focusing on gaining a full picture of the student.

"A comprehensive review is important to get a good picture of the prospective student. A comprehensive review allows for all pieces of the admissions materials to be considered before making a decision. A test score or GPA does not necessarily rule the student out. Their personal statement and letters of recommendation are also considered, so the admissions team gets to see a broader overview of the student and make an informed decision about whether or not they would be successful at the school. I fully support this type of admissions philosophy."
